I was laid off a week ago Monday due to my boss not managing his money. I knew it was coming and he was depressed about it. I worked in a small insurance office and when I got into work that Monday, he was there which was very unusual. He normally didn't come in until 11:00 and left for lunch and maybe came back in the afternoon. He definitely ignored his office and business to the point that he was borrowing money to pay his bills, etc. He said that he had to let me go since I was the last hired. I know that he is upset about it, but when he made a comment that he had to let me go so he could help out with his family. His 25 year old son was fired the week before, so that was an added financial burden on him.
Anyway...while I didn't make a whole lot of money. He is still going to pay me on the 15th for my vacation time that I never used as well as my bonus if he has the money. He said that my bonus may have to wait until the end of the month. I also feel sorry for my co-worker. She is young, my son's age and she has been with my former boss for 4 years and has been through his money woes so many times. He owes her quite a bit in commission.
My son is getting married in a little more than a month. He graduates in May and he and his fiance are moving to Alabama. She is also graduating with a nursing degree and already has a job. My son is graduating with his degree in secondary education. He worked with the women's basketball team through college, so he has a few contacts for jobs. So my prayer is that he finds a job that he loves as well.
I certainly know that God has a plan. I have already sent my resume to a contact I have with the Women in Insurance here locally. She emailed me today that she has a couple of job possibilities that I qualify for. My father in law is a retired insurance agent and has been looking around for another job with the company. I told him that I really don't want to work in another agent's office where I am expected to sale as well as service. Most of the time the agents don't have enough staff to do both. I have mainly a claims background. I was a claims adjuster for about 16 years. I want to be back in a large office and have a job that has structure.
Please keep me in your prayers. My body is feeling the stress of all of this and I am trying to get myself out of this funk. I did manage to wash clothes and do a few things around the house. I walk with either my hubby or one of my friends several times a week which helps alot.
Thanks so much for reading my "novel".
